Concord Hospital Walk-In Urgent Care has been selected by the readers of Parenting New Hampshire as a “Family Favorite” award recipient in 2014 Greater Concord Urgent/Immediate Care Center category.

The Family Favorite awards, now in its fourth year, is an award program that recognizes family-friendly businesses, services and places in almost 60 categories – as chosen by the readers of Parenting New Hampshire magazine.

“The Family Favorites’ award program recognizes those places, people and things that make New Hampshire a great place to raise a family,” said Melanie Hitchcock, editor of Parenting New Hampshire. “Whether it is at child care center, the library or the playground, parents give each other advice on what and who is the best. The Family Favorites contest gives them the opportunity to share that information with the wider public.”

“Concord Hospital Walk-In Urgent Care staff work diligently to provide kid-friendly care to our young patients to hopefully make their visit a little less traumatizing,” said Anne Lesperance, director of emergency services at Concord Hospital. “Coloring books and crayons are always available to keep kids busy, stuffed animals are often provided to those needing sutures and we even transport children needing an X-ray in a kid-size wagon.”

The Family Favorite Awards voting took place online from June 1 through July 31, 2014. The results of the reader’s poll will appear in the October 2014 issue of Parenting New Hampshire.
